Abigail Ruth

The Lady's a Rebel Abigail Ruth

The year is 1864. Vicksburg has been taken under Northern command. Southern belle Anneliese Tremaine has lost her family and her home has gone down in flames. Brokenhearted and practically destitute, Anneliese vows revenge. She'l refuses to sign the Union Pledge and flee to New Orleans to seek out her loose-living sister who runs a bordello. It's a foolish idea but what else can she do? There's no where else she can go. And no matter what she does, it might be impossible to preserve her family's honor and save Willow Glenn from financial ruin. Her plan goes awry when Anneliese discovers the only way she can get to her sister's is on a riverboat filled with the hated Yankee blue coats, some who call her nothing but white-trash. Helped by the attentiveness of a handsome Yankee Army captain who tries to protect her from the other men, Anneliese realizes he's also begun to tear at her heartstrings when she least expects it. Torn between her growing feelings for the man and her bitterness towards the North, Anneliese finds herself at a crossroads. If the captain discovers she's refused to sign the Union Pledge, it'll be his head or hers. It could mean prison for the rest of her life. He may be a kindhearted soldier, but he's a Yankee first. The Union is his priority. Anneliese Tremaine is Southern through and through and right proud of it. She'll never change not even for the man she's fallen desperately in love with. Or will she?
